Storage Tip of The WeeK
Colorful Hanging Boxes
Coordinate these simple storage boxes with any room in your home

These bright boxes are an easy way to add spice and storage to any room. Organize everything from school supplies to sewing notions. And they can be hung anywhere. Hang lesser-used items over a door and everyday essentials on the wall within reach.

Materials:
  • Wooden boxes of various sizes
  • Sandpaper
  • Tack cloth
  • Paint
  • Colorful fabric or paper
  • Crafts glue or other adhesive
  • Sawtooth picture hangers

How to build the storage boxes:
1. Sand the outside surfaces of the boxes and then wipe down with a tack cloth.

2. Apply two coats of paint to the surfaces of the boxes, allowing them to dry between coats. Adhere fabric or paper in colors that coordinate with the room to the insides of the boxes. Attach sawtooth picture hangers and mount the boxes where desired.

Add more colorful touches to anything with stamping!
